THE readers of the Crimson may be interested to hear what the Yale Courant thinks about the foot-ball Convention, and we should quote the editorials in full, if they did not contain a most undignified personal attack, written probably without sufficient thought, and which it would do the Courant injustice to repeat. There are two editorials on the subject, probably written by different editors in different degrees of indignation. The first would have done very well by itself. Its author rejoices "in once more looking forward to a good foot-ball season," for the Courant's "love of sport overcomes any sentimental considerations," that is, any desire to play with elevens. He then criticises severely the action of one of the Harvard delegates, and ends by complaining that the Crimson drew its "account of the convention from partisan sources," that is, from a Harvard man, as if it would have been more natural to ask one of the gentlemen from Yale to act as our reporter! All this, however, does not exceed the bounds of decency. Of the second editorial, out of charity to the Courant, which was overcome by its feelings and is now probably repenting at leisure, we refrain from speaking; as we have said, it is a gross personal attack, which must now be causing deep regret to the hasty but gentlemanly editors of the Courant. Everybody is liable to lose his temper when put in the wrong, and we look upon this sad exhibition more in sorrow than in anger.
THE Williams Athenaeum is well divided between literary efforts and college news. The former department is less ponderous than last year; the number before us contains quite a pretty love-poem, and also a hymn entitled "The Awakening."
THE Era informs us that Cocagne is to continue its labour of amusement this year.
